Describe rational, irrational, and real numbers.
Which word form correctly represents the number 4,546.09 using place value?
four thousand five hundred forty-six and nine hundredths
four thousand five hundred sixty-four and nine tenths
four thousand fifty-four and six hundred nine thousandths

Define rational and irrational numbers.
Describe number lines and their use.
On a number line marked at 0, 1, 2, and 3, four points are labeled A, B, C, and D from left to right over the tick marks. Which complete mapping of labels to values is correct?
A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3
A=1, B=0, C=2, D=3
A=0, B=2, C=1, D=3
A=3, B=2, C=1, D=0
Which statement correctly defines absolute value and explains why 3=∣−3∣ using a number line?
Absolute value is the distance from zero; both 3 and −3 are three units from 0, so their absolute values are 3.
Absolute value is the largest number on the line; since 3 is larger than −3, ∣−3∣=3 by comparison.
Absolute value changes negative numbers to zero; therefore ∣−3∣=0 and 3 equals 0.
Absolute value is the sign of a number; positive numbers have absolute value 1 and negatives have absolute value −1.
